The Nerd by Larry Shue
Ace Morgan Theatre September 30-October 1 & 4-8
Witty repartee and madcap slapstick are nicely balanced in this very funny play. Rising young architect Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life in Iraq. He had written to Rick, “As long as I’m alive, you will have somebody on this earth who will do anything for you." So when Rick shows up, Willum is thrilled, until it becomes apparent that Rick is a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact.
Einstein and the Roosevelts
Book & Lyrics by Gretchen Cryer, Reynolds Playwright-in-Residence
Music by Nancy Ford
Ace Morgan Theatre November 10-12 & 14-17
This musical takes place at an after-life birthday party for Eleanor Roosevelt, thrown in the cosmos by Alice Roosevelt Longworth, cousin to Franklin Roosevelt and daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. Notoriously unconventional, Alice has invited Albert Einstein to entertain with his latest invention, a musical method for summoning up moments from the past. With the help of Einstein's violin, buried secrets regarding love, marriage, and politics are fully revealed and passionately wrestled with in this entertaining and educational blending of history and whimsy.
Legacy of Light by Karen Zacarías
Ace Morgan Theatre February 24-25 & 28-March 3
Two brilliant women, centuries apart, push the boundaries of science while grappling with motherhood in this theatrically adventurous comedy. The physicist, living in the Age of Enlightenment, races to complete her research before the life-threatening birth of her child. The astrophysicist, living in the present and unable to conceive, hires a quirky and free-spirited surrogate and then turns her attention to her “other child,” a planet she’s discovered. Their legacies collide in this touching and whimsical tale.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
Burke Black Box Theatre April 20-22 & 25-29
Shakespeare’s energetic comedy takes the problems of young love and amateur play production into the woods, outside the strictures and structures of early Athens. There, the dreamscape is ruled by capricious fairies who struggle for control of a changeling child and entertain themselves by messing with the mortals. The play is a timeless and delightful romp for all ages.
